Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The processes of erosion and sedimentation reflect the interaction of two components of the environment—surface runoff and underlying rocks of the lithosphere. At the same time, all water flows within their catchments, from slope watercourses caused by rains or snowmelt to river mouths, form single fluvial systems with their own unique features, depending on a set of environmental and anthropogenic factors, controlling these processes. The study of erosion and sedimentation in their interrelationship and interdependence allows a deeper understanding of the patterns of functioning and development of catchment geosystems of different scales and environments and, consequently, the use of the most optimal strategies for managing these geosystems.
Contributions on the following and related topics are welcome:
- Erosion and sedimentation in the upper links of the fluvial network: erosion and sedimentation of temporary non-channel (soil erosion) and channel (gullies, ravines, small dry valleys, etc.) flows;
- Erosion and sedimentation in riverbeds and floodplains;
- Erosion and sedimentation in river mouths;
- Formation, transport, and pollution of sediments in permanent and temporary watercourses on various space/time scales;
- New approaches and methods in the study of erosion and sedimentation;
- Climate as a factor of erosion and sedimentation processes: from geological antiquity to the present;
- Human activity and erosion and sedimentation processes in the Anthropocene: from fieldworks to modeling;
- Biotic factors of erosion and sedimentation processes.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
